In this work, we present a globalized stochastic semismooth Newton method for solving stochastic optimization problems involving smooth nonconvex and nonsmooth convex terms in the objective function. We assume that only noisy gradient and Hessian information of the smooth part of the objective function is available via calling stochastic first and second order oracles. The proposed method can be seen as a hybrid approach combining stochastic semismooth Newton steps and stochastic proximal gradient steps. Two inexact growth conditions are incorporated to monitor the convergence and the acceptance of the semismooth Newton steps and it is shown that the algorithm converges globally to stationary points in expectation. Moreover, under standard assumptions and utilizing random matrix concentration inequalities, we prove that the proposed approach locally turns into a pure stochastic semismooth Newton method and converges r-superlinearly with high probability. We present numerical results and comparisons on $ell_1$-regularized logistic regression and nonconvex binary classification that demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithm.

While many distributed optimization algorithms have been proposed for solving smooth or convex problems over the networks, few of them can handle non-convex and non-smooth problems. Based on a proximal primal-dual approach, this paper presents a new
(stochastic) distributed algorithm with Nesterov momentum for accelerated optimization of non-convex and non-smooth problems. Theoretically, we show that the proposed algorithm can achieve an $epsilon$-stationary solution under a constant step size with $mathcal{O}(1/epsilon^2)$ computation complexity and $mathcal{O}(1/epsilon)$ communication complexity. When compared to the existing gradient tracking based methods, the proposed algorithm has the same order of computation complexity but lower order of communication complexity. To the best of our knowledge, the presented result is the first stochastic algorithm with the $mathcal{O}(1/epsilon)$ communication complexity for non-convex and non-smooth problems. Numerical experiments for a distributed non-convex regression problem and a deep neural network based classification problem are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
In this paper, we investigate the non-asymptotic stationary convergence behavior of Stochastic Mirror Descent (SMD) for nonconvex optimization. We focus on a general class of nonconvex nonsmooth stochastic optimization problems, in which the objectiv
e can be decomposed into a relatively weakly convex function (possibly non-Lipschitz) and a simple non-smooth convex regularizer. We prove that SMD, without the use of mini-batch, is guaranteed to converge to a stationary point in a convergence rate of $ mathcal{O}(1/sqrt{t}) $. The efficiency estimate matches with existing results for stochastic subgradient method, but is evaluated under a stronger stationarity measure. Our convergence analysis applies to both the original SMD and its proximal version, as well as the deterministic variants, for solving relatively weakly convex problems.
The paper proposes and justifies a new algorithm of the proximal Newton type to solve a broad class of nonsmooth composite convex optimization problems without strong convexity assumptions. Based on advanced notions and techniques of variational anal
ysis, we establish implementable results on the global convergence of the proposed algorithm as well as its local convergence with superlinear and quadratic rates. For certain structural problems, the obtained local convergence conditions do not require the local Lipschitz continuity of the corresponding Hessian mappings that is a crucial assumption used in the literature to ensure a superlinear convergence of other algorithms of the proximal Newton type. The conducted numerical experiments of solving the $l_1$ regularized logistic regression model illustrate the possibility of applying the proposed algorithm to deal with practically important problems.
We introduce Newton-ADMM, a method for fast conic optimization. The basic idea is to view the residuals of consecutive iterates generated by the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) as a set of fixed point equations, and then use a nons
mooth Newton method to find a solution; we apply the basic idea to the Splitting Cone Solver (SCS), a state-of-the-art method for solving generic conic optimization problems. We demonstrate theoretically, by extending the theory of semismooth operators, that Newton-ADMM converges rapidly (i.e., quadratically) to a solution; empirically, Newton-ADMM is significantly faster than SCS on a number of problems. The method also has essentially no tuning parameters, generates certificates of primal or dual infeasibility, when appropriate, and can be specialized to solve specific convex problems.
This paper is devoted to studying an inexact augmented Lagrangian method for solving a class of manifold optimization problems, which have non-smooth objective functions and non-negative constraints. Under the constant positive linear dependence cond
ition on manifold, we show that the proposed method converges to a stationary point of the non-smooth manifold optimization problem. Moreover, we propose a globalized semi-smooth Newton method to solve the augmented Lagrangian subproblem on manifolds efficiently. The local superlinear convergence of the manifold semi-smooth Newton method is also established under some suitable conditions. Finally, numerical experiments on compressed modes and (constrained) sparse PCA illustrate the advantages of the proposed method in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency.
